Fourth on end for Uncle Shank

Brilliant Warrawee Needy colt Uncle Shank extended his winning sequence to four when he led throughout at Albion Park on Thursday night (November 4).

The three-year-old rated a brisk 1:53.5 over 1660 metres with the last 800 in 55.4.

Uncle Shank has won eight of his 11 starts for more than $50,000 in stakes.

Tintin In America, whose progeny are firing on all fours, left winners in three different States and two countries this week.

Nerano NZ made it five wins from five starts on Australian soil when he captured a heat of the Griffith Cup, while Cavalry Call saluted at Gloucester Park, Destiny Jane emerged successful at Redcliffe and Nimah Franco NZ won in 1:52.2 at Harrah’s Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Reigning NSW Sire of the Year Million Dollar Cam was represented by the Griffith winner Camstar Road (1:57.3) and Alimonie (1:59, Globe Derby Park), while Renaissance Man’s promising three-year-old daughter Patrikiar blitzed her rivals at Collie (WA).
